Former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock gave an account of what forced him to resign after Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season. And it had something to do with the guy who died in the Lord of the Rings... not him per se, but the actor who played him... y'know...Sean Bean.
He says,
"I got back to my office and my best mate, Paul Evans, was waiting for me. My wife Sharon, and the kids Amy and William were there, too. Sharon had been crying and the kids knew why she was so upset. It wasn’t just the football. Not just because of the result. Twenty minutes or so after the game had ended, Sharon and William were sitting in my office when the film actor, Sean Bean, who is a Sheffield United board director, burst in with his girlfriend He was obviously the worse for wear. He wanted to know where I was. Sharon told him I was doing a Press conference and I’d be back soon. So Sean Bean started swearing at her and my five-year-old son. ‘It’s your f****** husband that got us relegated,’ he said, pointing at her. ‘He’s a f****** w*****’. That’s Sean Bean, the tough guy actor. Some kind of tough guy, eh, reducing a five-year-old kid and his mum to tears. If that incident hadn’t happened maybe I’d still be Sheffield United manager today. But it made me realise what certain people at the club were saying about me behind my back."As much as I'd like to believe Warnock (and believe me, I would. That guy in the Lord of the Rings was a c***... Boromir, not the real guy... Sean Bean or whatever his name is), I think I give more credence to the fact that Warnock is the most whiny guy in England. Neil, I'll be honest with you. The reason you're not Sheffield United manager today, is because... well... you kinda suck. And then to try and excuse your suckiness you make up crap excuses at the end of each match... Seriously, if Warnock can't get a job as a manager in the near future, maybe he can apply to become the "excuse-maker" or whatever, for Lindsay Lohan.
